Seems valid to me. I won't read articles with model-generated header images, because it's a good indicator the rest of the text will be slop as well.

For a restaurant, a slop logo gives the impression that the owner doesn't care about the details and has no taste.

Beyond that, the use of generative models is a big moral issue for a growing number of people.

Yes, this isn’t a logical error at all. If you don’t have taste in one area — actually, it’s even worse, you’re not even aware of your own lack of taste — why would I trust your taste in another area?

The best Mexican places I've been to in CA had decor reminiscent of a big-city bus station, despite how good the food was.

Why would lack of taste in graphic design be even remotely related to lack of taste in food preparation?

It's like arguing you wouldn't trust a lawyer with a medical negligence case if they can't suture a wound.

Or you wouldn't trust a graphic designer with a restaurant logo if they can't make good scrambled eggs.

This is assuming that the owner is also the chef, and exclusively concerned with cooking. Being a restaurateur is a multi-disciplinary job. The owner's job is literally to have good taste in all areas of the restaurant business: food, interior design, hospitality, branding and marketing, etc. No one is saying that they have to be a graphic designer. The obvious answer here was to have the good sense to hire a local college art student for like $300 to make an endearing and meaningful logo.
